SPY REPORT
Like the magnificent Sun, rising upon the Dawn and exiling the Night for a Day,
I, Novgorodny Vir, return once again! He who laughs last didn't get the joke.
Speaking of laughing at jokes, observe FISH MONGERS. Last week they got 0-0-0 to
drop by 4! Nothing works for a team like victory (How's that for a perceptive
observation?) as SOCCER STUDS can attest... DEE CEE had cause to celebrate, after
FREON NECROPHILA got 23 points by beating MAGNUS PHAEDRUS. Win some, lose some.
Speaking of which, FREON NECROPHILA was winsome, after beating MAGNUS PHAEDRUS and
seeing him lose 21 points. A certain someone saw NAMES at The Wasteland Bar with the
shakes, and now he fails to show up to defend his throne. What a pathetic slob!
What can be a greater victory? BLACK WIDOW has taken hers place as the top, as
VALAMANTIS' new Duelmaster. So who was the warrior seen charging into immovable
walls and challenging dead trees? Someone's got a basic problem...
A Zenmaster once told me, 'Does not the spinning wheel turn? And do not the
little birds cry out?' Any ideas? To quell some nasty rumors, the guys in MITHRAL
HALO are not carrying any incurable diseases. No need to avoid 'em. As a woman of
good breeding scorns the "warriors" of SAMURAI KIDS II, so did that sorry team shy
from MITHRAL HALO If challenges were horses, EASY TWEEZE could open up a fast food
joint! Them's the breaks, SILENT DEATH. Expecting fair challenges from SAMURAI KIDS
II is evidently too much to ask. Warriors of VALAMANTIS! Do you wish your
reputations tainted by the base challenge of BIJIN? BLACK DAWN challenged YOU! Who
says THE DEN OF SWORDS are just a bunch of wimps! BLACK DAWN of THE DEN OF SWORDS
kept hers wits as she was bested by YOU.
Ah, the duel! The roar of the oppenent, the smell of the crowd! Ask not a
spymaster for counsel, for he will pontificate long after you have fallen into an
unconscious stupor.
Do not think spyreporting in VALAMANTIS is the highlight of my life. As the
seasons change, and the creatures of the wild change also, so do I feel a yearning to
leave this place. Do not despair! I shall return!-- Novgorodny Vir

PERSONAL ADS
Samurai Kids II and Sretsamleud -- The Delarquan philosophy is totally okay with
downchallenging and so am I. I do feel the need to point out one thing though, it is
also quite all right to actually UPCHALLENGE too. I know you are both shocked to
hear this, but it is a fact. Some managers who upchallenge are able to live totally
normal lives. Try it, you might like it. -- Indimar
Tmonkey -- Thanks for keeping the personals alive last turn, you vicious little
rodent. -- Indy
Barnabas -- Congrats on all your recent success. I never would have expected it
judging by your sorry ass team here in Valamantis. ;) -- Sir Indimar (to you)
13 November 2003
Let it be known far and wide, that the Warrior TUM 18-7380, the Champions Runner-Up
for the recent Tournament, is managed by none other than Shocking Toad. I named this
fabulous warrior after my friend and mentor, TUM, a.k.a. Don! Sorry TUM didn't get
me my first TC; however, a runner-up with all those sandbaggers is pretty impressive,
if I do say so myself. -- Shocking Toad, The Manager
13 November 2003
All -- This is to announce that I am no longer a member of the Vendetta Cartel
Alliance. I have enjoyed my time there, and I've made some great friends. Their
company will be missed, but they will endure. I wish them well. -- Apex
